Rafa warned over conduct
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has been warned as to his future conduct following a gesture made at referee Phil Dowd.
The Spaniard has been cleared of two of three Football Association charges brought against him following incidents in Liverpool's defeat by Tottenham on 16th August.
But Benitez was found guilty of misconduct relating to the third - a gesture made with a pair of spectacles which was deemed to be offensive.
A statement on the club's website read: "The Commission found that two of the allegations relating to comments made about the match referee were not proven and therefore dismissed.
"On a third, the commission accepted that a gesture made with a pair of spectacles was 'in a non-malicious and humorous manner' and taking into account Mr Benitez's previous unblemished record, warned him about his future conduct. No fine was imposed or costs awarded against the Liverpool manager.
"The commission also expressed their surprise at the failure of the FA to charge another manager who had made a similar gesture the same weekend."
